We are a family of 5 who wanted a short weekend trip to Wexford to chill out, reconnect and get some sunshine! - The family room was excellent - spacious, clean and with 2 single beds, 1 double and a set of bunks, everybody was happy - The booking set up for pools / restaurants etc. worked really well. The pool system in particular was fab - The hotel have managed to get ontop of COVID rules in a diligent but friendly way 10/10 - we are already planning our return

What can I say about the restaurant we where outdoor dinning in 27 degree heat and given a large jug of water that was warm then a jug of blackcurrant the same not one bit of ice. Menu was not the best selection in the world. We ordered drinks and food the first pints where not to bad the second one looked like it was left in the bar to settle for a half hour. Once drinks where dropped we where told that with out door dinning we had to pay before we eat 🤔 🤔 this I did not not like a family of four hardly going to run away and the fact that I can go to Eddie rockets and not pay for my food till we had eaten really baffled me. The food was not the best over priced for the quality and need to update the starters on the menu. Would we go back no I don’t think so €98 for two adults two kids for poor service and food won’t happen again…

Dear Stretchella23, Drinks not good enough, sincerest apologies. Sorry we baffled you re the outside system. Properties differ - it is not something we get a lot of negative feedback on. Kind regards, Paul Finegan

Went to the Tapas restaurant on the upstairs terrace. Had a great night out with friends. The terrace was lovely, sun was shining, atmosphere from staff was very friendly and relaxed. Paige was our waitress and she did an excellent job-was good fun and very attentive. The food let it down a bit as the potatoes were really oily and just tasted fatty and deep fried!!! Chorizo prawns needed more seasoning, Pork belly was really good! A side salad on the menu would be good! Wine was yummy Altogether though really enjoyed our night and Paige is an asset to the restaurant.

Very average and a lot of easy details letting it down here. The Room we were given a ground floor room directly by the smoking area out the front. For a hotel that has had a year to prepare for this opening week the room was not in great condition. The TV was fixed to the wall completely crooked, ironing board was broken and iron cable wasnt fitted correctly in wall. The contactor in the room DB was making a loud humming all night which was reported at front desk then again to another staff member. No action was taken on this during our stay. At 02:30 members of a wedding party spent 15 minutes shouting and singing right outside the window. I tried to call front desk but realised the phone had no cable in it. Also, an electric towl heater in the actual shower as well as broken sockets in the lobby makes me think this place hasn't had an electrical periodic inspection in a long time. Could do with bathrobes in the rooms and bottles of water refilled during housekeeping The Bar Although members at the bar were polite, we ordered a bottle of wine the first night and waited over 20 minutes to have a closed bottle put on the table. The second night we ordered two drinks each and waited 20min again each time. Drinks were good and bar was clean aside from that. The Pool Not 4 star could definitely do with a revamp. All a bit rundown, moundly walls at jacuzzi, plastic grates broken. The Restaurant I'll save the best for last. Staff were great and good was good also. Our drinks waiter was very helpful and also brought samples of local drink and told us more about it as we paid. I planned to address these issues at front desk but wasnt asked how the stay was or any questions on checkout. I understand staff can be a bit rusty after lockdown which I'm sure will improve but if a hotel isnt fixed up during this down time I imagine it won't be done any time soon.…

Dear Mikemaher1, Sorry we disappointed you. Your room was not up to par. We have spent an enormous amount of time working on the hotel during lockdown and have two new outdoor dining areas and the restaurant is completely renovated. Much of the project work that we did involved plant and Is not visible but was great to get done. We were not closed but open to essential services. on the ground floor which is where you were staying so those rooms were used all the way through lockdown. We have to say that the the majority of guests have been very complimentary of the hotel on their return and a small few have been very critical and unforgiving. We will do our best to address all your comments and hopefully you will give us a second chance in the future. Kind regards, Paul Finegan

When we arrived we had much trouble with the new app , as we were friends of four we ordered separately which means all of your food comes out at different times. Drinks took over half an hour a time to come out every time. Due to bad weather we could not blame staff for been cold however when I asked two staff members were we able to move into the porch or down the alley , they replied theu are new, so I asked could you ask somebody and they never came back. Food did not come out hot. The worst was I asked for an espresso martini, it took forever to come out and when it did. It came out like this. I told the waitress that this not how it should look or taste like and infact tasted dreadful. She asked could she replace it with anything and I said a strawberry daiquiri🙃. She was happy to replace it and took the drink away and replaced it, or so I thought until I got the bill. I was charged 12.50 for a cocktail I was unable to even drink, note I am not Picky but I could not even stomach it and the look of it even turned me off. When I said it to the man he told me worked in the industry for 30 years , and there was nothing wrong with it. He said I did not know my stuff / I have also worked in the industry for 9 years , so yes although your ingredients may vary . This is not what an espresso martini is. He said to me that it is my problem I do not Like the ingredients that is how they make it here and that as ingredients were used I have to pay no matter what, and left the bill back down on the table. The way he spoke to me was extremely rude, arrogant and possibly because we were three young girls he didn’t feel the need to talk to me with respect or apologetic at all. He noted he would talk to that staff member who took the drink but had told her i would be charged for it so I also don’t understand why she did not come back to me and tell me this herself ? After all of this I still ordered another strawberry daiquiri as my two friends had just ordered theirs. He said certainly but I’m bringing the bill down, which he did however no cocktail was made and after another twenty minutes I had to ask a staff member who went in and made it but told me no body was told to make it ? This was not done on the app, as we had to much trouble with it. As this is the bar manager speaking to me like this, there really isn’t anyone else I could talk to about this matter and the general manager did not come down after I had asked to speak to him. I understand this was the first day back, things were going to be stressful but nobody should be talked down to like that and then for the craic I ordered another espresso martini of another guy to see what it would be like and it was perfect, looked good filled to the top and tasted good. Staff really need to be trained properly, showed exactly where everything is and how it’s done . Team meeting before work etc , very simple questions people weren’t able to answer / did not know the menu or drinks etc . An hour of training could go a long way of standards which is very important especially if their new staff. Ps food was actually lovely / just a little cold as it may have been sitting their for a few minutes.…

Dear niamh19999, The first I knew of your complaint was on tripadvisor. Rudeness is unacceptable in any circumstance, from either the server or the guest, and if anyone on my team was rude to you I am most sincerely sorry. I am very proud of my team. some very young, others older, more experienced and totally stressed to have to come back to such a busy operation with brand new staff and no live situation in which to train them until the day you booked - FIRST DAY1 I would be happy to try to make amends - you can reach me on pfinegan@ashdownparkhotel.com The quote below is not my post - I copied it, but I feel it hits the nail on the head in the context of reopening. Kind regards, Paul Finegan, General Manager. If you're going out for dinner or drinks or staying in a hotel remember that your servers probably haven’t done this job in over 8/12 months, or are completely new to the trade. In that time they may have lost family members, struggled with mental health issues, loneliness and financial problems. They may have also decided to take a job and come off of PUP payments. Be patient with them and just enjoy the fact you can sit and enjoy drinks and food in the company of others... 👏💕🍻🍳🥓🍷🍺🍸🎉🥙🍝🥣🍤🍔🥤🥃
